Designing Table Backdrops

I would like to introduce our newest Design Dazzle Contributor Amy Oren of Blowout Party. Amy likes to make parties fabulous and fun! Welcome Amy!!

Gone are the days when you could just throw on a tablecloth, some food, and call it a party. Today’s dessert tables are all about details, design, and decor. Enter the table backdrops. Consider the backdrop as an extension to your tablecloth. With simple materials, you can transform a beautiful dessert table into an impressive, professional looking work of art, that is tasteful to the eye as much as it is to the palate.

The backdrop for this kite party is a great example. The clean, yet illustrative backdrop sets the scene, complements the theme, but does not distract you from the actual dessert table.

I absolutely love the bright and dynamic backdrop to this holiday dessert table. The red and white striped fabric is offset by elegant, yet whimsical paper flowers and snowflakes. What an enchanting way to set the scene!

Ribbon backdrops are beautiful as well as versatile. They can lend a dessert table anything from an elegant and formal air, to a light and airy feel. This dessert table on the beach has a delightful, graceful, and breezy backdrop.

Sometimes, all you have to do is get creative with the space you actually have. This dessert table was set in front of the loft’s freight elevator. The authenticity of the textured wall adds another dimension to table. It’s interesting and tells a story.

When planning your dessert table, remember to balance out colors and textures between wall, table, and everything in between!

"Gone are the days when you could just throw on a tablecloth, some food, and call it a party."…I STRONGLY DISAGREE with that statement. Dessert tables are fun and I have done a few myself. I know very few people who have done them in real life. But the matter of fact is, these take a LONG time to pull together. I would rather focus on the food and company and keep it simple. After all, am I throwing a party to enjoy people or to show off how long I took to make a dessert table look great? In the future, for me, it will be all about the people and simple, yummy food, not the overtop decorating. Sorry, I love the pictures, just not crazy about that starter sentence.
